Intro: G   G   C   C   D   D   G   G   
   
G             G                       C     C   
You come home late and you come home early,   
D           D                        G     G   
You come on big when you're feeling small.   
G             G                         C     C   
You come home straight and you come home curly.   
D             D                  G    G   
Sometimes you don't come home at all.  

   
G              G            C          C   
So what in the world's come over you   
D           D             G            G   
And what in heaven's name have you done?   
G                 G                     C           C   
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness.   
D                  D                         G     G   
You're out there running just to be on the run.   
   
G                G                       C     C   
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever   
D              D                        G     G   
And I got a worried and a jealous mind.   
G                  G                         C     C   
How can a love that'll last forever   
D                D                  G    G   
Get left so far behind?  

   
G                 G           C          C   
So what in the world's come over you   
D             D              G            G   
And what in heaven's name have you done?   
G                     G                    C           C   
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness.   
D                  D                         G     G   
You're out there running just to be on the run.   
   
**Instrumental, same chords as one verse**   

G                G                       C     C   
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow.   
D              D                        G     G   
It's crossed the evil line today.   
G                  G                         C     C   
How can you ask about tomorrow   
D                D                  G    G   
When we ain't got one word to say?  

Chorus twice  

G                G            C            C   
You're out there running just to be on the run.   
D                  D                         G     C    D    G   
You're out there running just to be on the run
